The control room furniture manufacturer Winsted has supplied a customised console solution at the Genetec UK Solutions Centre, in Reading. The project enables the Canadian-based IP security product company to demonstrate their products in a simulated control room.
Winsted – whose Midlands-based new offices and warehouse were officially opened in March and were featured in the May 2015 print issue of Professional Security magazine – was commissioned to provide a console that would fit the space available within the multi-functional room that is also used for training. Julie McGill, from Winsted’s Business Development team says that the solution lay in using a Prestige Insight console. This incorporates all in Winsted’s Sight-Line range, but packages them within a compact profile with a smaller footprint.
Finished in Genetec corporate colours, pictured, with a blue work surface with coordinating white side panels, the console allows use of Winsted’s Versa-Trak display mounting for ergonomic comfort and adjustability. With VESA-compliant brackets, Versa-Trak has enabled three 21-inch flat panel screens to be attached and provides horizontal and vertical adjusting for best viewing angles and sight lines for operators. The console, being of modular design, allows the console to be adapted to meet changing requirements, and extending its operational lifespan.
Genetec’s Business Development Manager for EMEA, Simon Barnes, confirmed that the company is pleased with the standard of equipment and the service provided. “We actually assembled the console ourselves and can vouch for the quality of the components and instructions provided. Great thought and experience has clearly gone into the engineering and use of the Winsted console.”
